my name is tommy and i live in anchorage, alaska. i've loved boats forever, and soon my dream will be realized in a sailing cruise on a 463 beneteau oceanis from costa rica to new zealand this april. i commercial fish in bristol bay in the summers on a 32' aluminum drift boat with cummins diesel. i would really love to hear some tips and advice about how i can prepare for my upcoming trip across the south pacific. and i would also enjoy discussion if anybody has any questions for me about commercial fishing in alaska.
